The ‘Mamohato Children’s Centre is the flagship facility that supports all of Sentebale’s work with vulnerable children in Lesotho. Named after His Majesty King Letsie III and Prince Seeiso’s mother, the late Queen ‘Mamohato Bereng Seeiso, who was known as the Mother of the Nation, the centre will be used to hold a range of events and workshops to benefit vulnerable children.
Over 200 international and local guests including dignitaries, donors, trustees and Sentebale Ambassadors attended the event which marked this key milestone for Sentebale. Guests enjoyed a full tour of the centre’s facilities, including the Get Well Centre, the camper cabins, the activity rooms and The Diana, Princess of Wales Hall. These facilities will enable us to reach four times as many children living with HIV as well as providing training facilities as the charity expands.
